Common questions

Life insurance FAQ

How much life insurance do I need?

A common rule is 10-12x your annual income. If you earn $50,000/year, aim for $500,000-$600,000 in coverage. This helps replace your income and cover major expenses like mortgage and college.

Do I need a medical exam?

Not always. Many term life and final expense policies offer 'no medical exam' options. You may pay slightly higher rates, but approval can happen in 24-48 hours instead of weeks.

What's the difference between term and whole life?

Term life covers you for a specific period (10-30 years) and is more affordable. Whole life covers you for life and builds cash value, but costs more. Most families start with term.

Is life insurance through my employer enough?

Usually no. Employer coverage is often only 1-2x your salary and disappears if you leave your job. Personal coverage stays with you and provides adequate protection.
